Application filed March 13, 1903. Serial No. 147,612.

Be it known that I, ERNEST VAHLE, a citizen of the United States, residing in West Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Turret-Lathes, of which'the ollowing is a specification.

My invention aims to provide an improved turret lathe and especially such a lathe adapted to the manufacture of a part of a tire valve. Inthe operation of such a machine it is necessary to use a considerable number of tools acting in succession onthe blank, and my invention provides a very convenient and compact arrangement of the tools, the work holder and the operating v mechanism.

My invention provides various advantages specified in detail hereinafter.

The accompanying drawingsfillustrate the invention as applied to the production of partsof tire valves.

Figs. 18 and 19 are sections of the feeding mechanism taken on the lines 18 18 and 19- 19 respectively of Fig. 17. Fig. 20. is a view partly in section on the line 20 of Fig. 6, of one of the thread cutting tools. Fig. 21 is a plan of the same."

My machine comprises a central rotating turret having a. series of work-holding chucks into which the blanks are introduced in a radial position in succession as the turret rotates, the turretbeing surrounded by a stationary table carrying a series of tools each of which advances toward the work as the latter is presented to it by the rotatmg turret and then rotates to cut the metal to the desired shape.

The machine illustrated is especially deof Fig. 6. Fig. ,14 is a view of the first signed to receive a blank A (Fig. 1) consisting of a solid cylindrical rod or rivet having a shoulder B. The small end of the rivet is held in a chuck and it is moved step by step to present it to the successive tools. First it receives a comparatively large bore C from a boring tool O, and is shaved smooth on the outside and beveled at its edge by means of cutting tools D and E; at thenext operation it receives a number of outer grooves F by means of a suit able cutting tool F; then it receives a second smaller bore G from a borer G; outer screw threads H are then cut by a die H; and inner threads J by'a tap J; the bore G is then extended by a secondboring tool G the formation of this lon 'bore G being divided into two periods oi? time so as to not delay the various other-operations by reason of the extra time which would be required to forma long bore at one operation; thereupona conical bore K is formed connectmg the larger bore C and the smaller G, by

means of a cutter K, and the outer edge is table M and is provided at its lower edge' 55 the upper ends of the several shafts V,

indicate the corresponding tools and operating mechanism as a whole. These tools are arran ed u on the stationary table M in the positions indicated, the space bet-ween the last and the first tools being occupied by the ejecting chute N, the feeder P and theother devices hereinafter referred to. The table M is horizontal as shown, and the turret Q at the center rotates on its vertical axis. The turret carries a series of chucks R which when opposite the tool C receive the blank and by successive steps present it to each of the tools in. succession. Upon leavin the last tool K the blank A is forcib y ejected into the chute N. and off to one side of the machine. The blanks are conducted tot-he feeder P from a magazine I rotating bein whic '65 at suitable intervals.

made for supplying oil to the several tools S (Fig. 3). This figure also shows the arrangement, of the machinery for rotating the turret and for controlling the radial movement of .the tools toward and from the work between the table M and a base T. The rotation of the several tools on their axes is secured by means of a series of belts U running to suitable overhead shafting, whichbelts avoid any positive connec- 171011 between the tools. 111 their rotating movement, the slip of the belt allowing each tool to go at its own speed according to the work being done; w ile the movement of the" several tools toward and from the work is synchronized, such movement being obtained from a series of vertical shafts V arranged at the outside ends of the tools and driven from transverse shafts -W, .W' (Fig. 7) which in turn are driven from a main central shaft X. The shaft- X is driven from a' constantly rotating sleeve Y which, is loose on the turret-rotating shaft Z and adapted to be clutched thereto Suitable provision is and carrying it ofl'.

The turret, as shown in Figs. 3 and 12, is supported on a raised portion of the with a lar e gear a which is in engagement with-the plnion bat'the top of the shaft Z. It is also provided with a series of apertures into which a locking bolt 0 enters to' hold the turret exactly in position to register with the tools. It is understood that theturret is held stationary during the entire time that the tools are in engagement with the work. This time is determinedby cams at which, as s ted, are driven from the central shaft This shaft X carries cams e and d for withdrawing the locking bolt 0 and clutching the shaft Z to the constantly sleeve Y at roper intervals. The cam 11 isillustrated best in Figs. 7 and -9, provided with a\ depressed portion acting in conjunction with the ad-- ustable pm 1 (Fig. 3), connected as shown to the clutch-block g, permits the latter to be pulled down by ,its weight and by the spring h and to be held down for a sufficient length of time to turn the turret oneeighth of a revolution. The cam e is shown} in detail in Fig. 8 and acts just before the cam d to engage a pin j on the stop pin a and pull the latter down out of-engagement--- 1 with the turret. As soon as the cam 6 turns sufliciently for its projecting portion to pass the pin j, the pin 0 is pulled up agam by means of springs 70 and holds theturret accurately fixed in position until the next movement; I

Each of the chucks is provided with an arm arranged to oscillate and thereby to open and close the jaws of the chuck. At the end of the series of operationsthis arm engages a stop in its path which swings it backward so as to open thechuck, whereupon the work is ejected. The chuck remains open until a new blank is inserted,

struck yanother arm moving in the same direction so as to swm Means are provided carried by the chuck for automatically ejecting the work upon opening the jaws. As embodied in the present machine the chuck and operatin mechit forward and effect the closure of the c uck on the blank.

whereu' on the chuck-operating arm is anisms therefor are best illustrated in Figs.

6 and 12. The usual split spring jaws Z are squeezed together by being moved outwardl upon eing released force themselves back into the ring and separate so as to release the work. For closing the jaws I provide a pivoted camxplate n on which is a v pair of cam faces bearing against similar or suitable faces on a rear plate 0 to which the.

racket projecting up from the table and at its inner end upon a vertical boss 8 extending up from the table through the center of the turret. The shaft 7- is rotated continuously by a bevel gear connection with the shaft V at its outer end. This action takes place while the turret is stationary, and any arm moving in the forward direction might be substituted inplace of the special arm' q shown. .In order to swing the arm p back again after the series of operations, a stop t is provided which is substantially .fixed, being carried in a bracket u attached on the through the tapered ring m, and

too

central fixed boss 8. The stop 23 ordinarily stands directly in the path of the arm p, and

as the turret turns the arm engages the stop and 1s turned backward. The stop It is arranged to move upward out of'theway of the arm ;0 as the latter forces its way past, a spring '0 serving to, hold the stop down with suf iicient force to effect the turning of the chuck operating arm before it rises. 4

Within=eacli of the chucks is illustrated a spring 72' which is compressed by the introduction of a blankA and which is held compressed as longas the jaws of the chuck hold the blank A in'position, but which upon the opening of the jaws forcibly ejects the blank. Preferably the spring bearsagainst the blank through the intermediation of a ring q, and a pin 1- is p'rovidedjor limiting the inward position of the blank A and for guiding the ring 9. The mechanism is so timed that at the moment of release of the blank from the jaws of the chuck the blankwill be opposite the discharge chute N. Consequently the finished articles are expelled one after another forcibly through the chute N to a point outside the machine.

The magazine-and mechanism for delivering the blanks continuously and in proper position to thefeeding mechanism is illustrated in Figs. 3, {l and 5. The box S constituting the receptacle tapers from two sides toward the center, as shown in Fig. 3, and also extends obliquely downward from its rear to its front, as shown in Fig. 4. A member such for example as the slide on reciprocates vertically in the receptacle, and is provided at its upper edge with a groove, as shown, which engages the shoulders B of the blanks in the box when the upper edge of the plateor slide is depressed. The smaller but heavier portions of the blanks swing down into the groove in the manner illustrated. The groove and the upper edge of the slide are oblique, so that as the slide is lifted to its highest position (Fig. 4) such of the blanks as have been caught slide down to the lower end of the groove and thence out into the trough w whose upper end registers with the lower end of the groove in the slide to and which consists merely of two parallel plates. In the trough a: the blanks are held by their shoulders the same as in the slide until near the lower end whereithey are gradually turned to a horizontal position, as shown in Figs. 18 and 19. In this lower portion of-the trough a guard plate y is arranged opposite the larger ends of the blanks to prevent them falling out and constituting with the sides a: a magazine. The blanks are taken one by one from the lower end of the trough. w by means of a transverse slide 2 provided with a groove at one end. When the slide 2 is retracted (Fig. 6)- the groove lies immediately under the vertical line of blanks and the lower blank forces it into the chuck, and is later withdrawn. The slide 2 is almost immediately retracted, and in order to permiteit to pass the head of the blank A the outer end of the slide is composed of .a yielding plate I) which is automatically depressed by the rivet sothat it passes under the latter, as shown in Fig. 19. The movement of the slide 2 is produced by a swinging arm 0 pivoted at its outer end and moved positively in the retracting direction by the engagement of an adjustable stop d thereon with an arm 6 on a bell crank lever the other arm f of which carries a forked link 9 straddling t-heshaft V and carrying a roller k which is alternately forcedoutward by-a cam y" and inward by a cam is, both on a plate rotated with the shaft V. The cam efiects an inward movement of the roller k, and by the act-ion of the arm e on the stop 12 effects a retractive movement of the slide a. The cam 9" causes an outward movement of the roller it and the movement is transmitted yieldingly through the spring Z to produce a forward movement of the slide 2. Lower down on the shaft V is a cam m which substantially simultaneously with the completed action of the cam j on the slide 2 acts on a-rod it to push it forward-- and backward movement of the slide. The I pushing pin a has also certain other move ments consequent upon its position in line with the tool C and which-T will describe in connection with the operation of this tool.

The central shaft 3 of the tool is rotated by means of a belt U as shown and is carried in bearings on a slide 25 sliding on a-fixed base a. The slide t carries at its rear a cam roller 1: in engagement with a cam 11) carried by the shaft V. This cam at the proper time advances, the slide t until the tools properly engage the blank and perform their work. A pair of springs w on opposite sides retract the slide as the cam w permits. The pin a first stands directly in line with the center of the shaft 8' and pushes the blank into the chuck. Then it swings to the side so that in the further advance it will not strike the projecting portion of the chuck R,

the lateralposition being indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 15. This pin is carried on an arm 11 of the shaft '22 previously referred to,

which shaft is provided with a sleeve 2 to the lower end of which is attached a spring a (Fig. 17) which tends always to pull the shaft around until the arm y isin an upright position. At the front of the slide t are a air of'stops b and c which determine t e angular position of the .arm y.

Starting with the parts in the position shown in full lines in Fig. 15, the shaft 11. is engaged by the cam m as ex lained and pushed forward slightly. A. little later a.

second cam 03 in one with the cam m engages an arm 6 on the shaft n'so as to turn the shaft to the angular position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 15. Thereupon the spring 0 pulls the shaft back and the depending arm F is engaged by the stop 0 on the face of the slide t to prevent a return of the shaft to its former angular position. The lowest cam w then pushes the slideforward and the continuous rotation of the tool shaft shapes the blank as explained. Shortly after the action of the cam whas ceased and the tool has been withdrawn by the springs w another cam 9 in the plane of the shaft n pressed the latter forward and the spring a simultaneously turns it to its original posi- 4 tion, the adjustable stop 6 acting against the lower arm f to determine this position accurately. The parts are then ready for another operation. 9 is a central passage through which oil maybe fed to the tool.

The next tool and its ap urtenances, F

'calextension 7' to form a rest for. t e head of the blank to enable it to resist the lateral pressure of the toolF'. The tool Fis normally held out from the center by means of springs 70 (Fig. 113 When the slide T has been sufiicientlya anced'by the cam w' a second-cam Z on the same shaft V engages and swings a lever m, which by the connection shown presses forward a conical cam n which engages the rear end of a lever 0 and moves the cutter F gradually against the work. A counterweight p? is preferablyprovided to insure even running. g is an oil assage. I

a T e mechanism for controlling the move ments of the boring tools G is similar to that shown in Fig. 14, omitting the parts thereof which control the movement of the feeding pin a.

The mechanism H including the outside thread-cutting die and its operating mechanism, is shown in'Fi 20 and 21. Provision has to be made-in t case for turning the die, H infirstone and then the other direction. r is a central constantly rotating shaft, hollow in this case, carried in the slide t" which slides on the bed u and is moved forward and back by means of the cam 10' and springs :12. At oneend of the slide t;

is a clutch head 8 carried by\ the hollow shaft 1*, and at the opposite end is a clutch head if carried by the sleeve u which is rotated in a contrary direction to the hollow shaft 1' by the bevel gearsshown and well understood in this type of'machine. The tool shaft 8 is provided with corresponding clutch heads '0 and 'w As the slide is moved'forward, the tool shaft 8 being held back bymeans of a weight :0 attached to its rear end, the clutch head 8 engages the corresponding clutch head 0 and rotates the die in say the right-hand direction, theforward movement and rotation being continued until the-thread is complete. Thereupon the rear end of the cam w passes the cam roller.

and the springs :0 come into play. Simultaneously a second cam y engages the end of a lever 2 and presses forward a sleeve a, which, by a yielding pressure due to the spring 6 presses forward the clutch head-w which is splined on the tool shaft. This clutch head then engages the clutch head t which'rotates the ,tool shaft in the opposite;

direction, to unscrew it from the work. A brake c is constantly applied to the 'clutch head "@11 to prevent the too sudden starting of rotation of the same or too long-continued rotation after disengagement.

The mechanism controlling the tap J for forming the inside thread is substantially identical with that just described for controlling the die H. The mechanism ment of the cutters K and L is substantially the same as the mechanism for controlling the movements of the tools C and G.

The sleeve Y from -which the various mechanisms and the turret are operated, receives its movement from a main shaft d through a clutch e which is operated by the movement of a lever f. The machine will ordinarily be started or stopped by a handlever g projecting above the same and mounted on a shaft h the turning of which is converted to an up or down movement of the lever and a corresponding movement of the lever f. The clutch may also be disconnected by means accessible from a plurality of posit-ions, so that in case of accident it can be stopped at once. The means illustrated comprises a rin is extending around the machine near the oor so as to be accessible from all sides of the machine, being suspressing t afoot upon this ring at any point,

for controllingthe move- 1 I the central portion will be pushed downand cle is not properly ejected from the chuck.

As shown best for example in Figs. 6, 12 and 13, the shaft h is provided above the table with a second arm provided with a member p normally projecting into the path of the work. As the turret rotates, the .work A, if it has not been properly ejected into the chute N, strikes the projection p and edge,

swings the arm 0 to turn the shaft h in the direction to unclutch the machine. As the movement continues, the projection p is drawn down out of the path of the work after the arm 0 has been swung the necessary distance. The withdrawal of the projection p is effected by means of a pin q attached thereto and projecting from the front of the arm 0 this pin being engaged by the oblique edge of a cam r 'so asto pull down the pinagainst the normal upward pressure of the spring 8 In starting the machine again the arm 0 is swung back to its normal position, Fig. 6. An upright '0 (Fig. 7) operating in connection with a pair of arms '21; carried upon an intermediate portion of the shaft h serves to limit its movement.

In order to make the machine run smoothly and slowly at the proper periods, and to stop it with the several mechanisms in proper position, one or more of the vertical shafts V may be provided with friction cams t which engage springs as supported upon bars extending between adjacent uprights. Such devices also prevent any shock to the tool and work as the tool slide reaches its extreme outward position and starts to return. At such time the slide acting against the'cam w, tends to move the shaft V in the direction of its rotation and does so move it to the extent of any lost motion in the gearing for-such shaft. This would permit a quick rearward movement of the tool, and would tend to either break the latter or injure the work. By the cam 25 and spring a a brake is put upon the shaft at such time so that this sudden rearward motion of the tool is prevented.

Means for en plying oil to the various tools is provided. As lllustrated, a tube or channel :0 (see Figs. 3, 6 and 9) is provided on'the under side-of the plate M, and from this channel the oil passes through flexible tubes 3 either directly to the work or through the tool and thence to the work, in the manner hereinbefore explained. The table M is inclined downwardly toward its and all around the edge there is pro vided a gutter 2 into which the oil from the various tools runs. A strainer is provided to prevent the metal from also passing into the gutter. By a number of tubes (r placed at suitable intervals the oil is conducted from the gutter into a tank 6?, being preferably again strained. For the mechanism F (Fig. 10) a funnel and large tube 0 receives the oil passing through the opening (1* in the table, and conducts it directly to the tank I).

The oilis then again drawn from the tank h 6 and forced into the channel by means of a pump (5 (Fig. 7) which may be driven fromthe power shaft d as shown. Thus a continual circulation of oil is maintained, and a constant and generous supply is furnished to the tools.
